Sony has officially announced the release of the WH-1000XM6 headphones, priced at $450 in the U.S., featuring upgrades from the previous model including a new folding hinge design for durability and flexibility.
The WH-1000XM6 addresses criticisms of the earlier model's fold-flat design with an improved hinge mechanism and reduced travel case size with a magnetic closure.
Enhancements on the WH-1000XM6 include a wider headband with asymmetrical shape, upgraded ear cushions, and a new textured finish on the plastic.
The WH-1000XM6 boasts improvements in active noise cancellation technology with a faster processor, more microphones, new algorithms for ANC optimization, and enhanced call quality with microphone muting capability.
